Installation Guide

You have three options in installing the CloverETL Designer. The easiest and fastest way is to download CloverETL bundled with the Eclipse development platform. The other two options are installing CloverETL as an Eclipse plugin. The plugin can be installed either via online update site or you can download the plugin and install it offline.

Prerequisites

CloverETL requires Java 1.6. A JDK is required to run Java transformations, but most of the graphs will run with JRE.

Step 1

Download CloverETL bundled with the Eclipse development platform. You need to be signed in to either your user or customer account to download it.

Step 2

When the download is finished, extract the file contents to the selected location. Then enter the cloveretl-designer directory and start the CloverETL Designer by running the cloveretl-designer executable file.

Step 3

After, you will be prompted to select a location for your workspace. This is the directory where your CloverETL projects will be stored.

Step 4

When you select the location, CloverETL Designer will open.
 

Step 5

If you have the full version (not Community) of CloverETL Designer, you will need to activate it by providing a license key. 

Step 6

Check your configuration: Window → Preferences → Java → Installed JREs:
Preferences window on Linux

Java 1.6 (JDK or JRE) should be visible and checked. If you don't see it, add it and check for usage (see Setting Java Runtime Environment).
